Heavenly River Li Clan

The gaunt cultivator smiled slightly upon hearing this.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need to provoke me. I would never easily reveal the name of that Foundation Establishment Lineage."

"If you are truly interested, you can go to the confluence of three rivers, twenty miles east of the Ghost Market, at Shen Shi (3-5 PM) five days from now."

"We, the thirteen cultivators, will gather here to discuss attacking the Foundation Establishment Lineage."

"At that time, I will hand over all the information about this Foundation Establishment Lineage to you, fellow Daoist."

Song Wen frowned slightly and asked.

"Fellow Daoist, could you please tell me what your cultivation levels are, you thirteen cultivators?"

The gaunt cultivator replied, "That can be revealed to you, fellow Daoist. There are thirteen of us, five of whom are Foundation Establishment cultivators, including two Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivators, three Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivators, and the remaining eight are all Qi Refining Ninth Layer cultivators."

"The Lineage we need to deal with has six Foundation Establishment cultivators and nearly a hundred Late Qi Refinement cultivators."

Song Wen nodded and said, "Thank you for informing me, fellow Daoist. I will consider it. Farewell."

After saying this, Song Wen turned and left without pausing for a moment.

After leaving the gaunt cultivator's shop, Song Wen quickly toured the entire Ghost Market.

The Ghost Market wasn't large, only about a mile in size.

The front half is a shop, and the back half is a stall.

Many of the spiritual items sold here are prohibited in Eastern Splendor Market.

Song Wen felt as if he were in a small-scale magical market.

Human Race Essence Blood, cultivator's soul, Yin Qi energy, ghostly energy, corpse Sha Qi, evil energy, Ghost Dao Secret Method, corpse Law Technique, forbidden Blood Dao arts...

You can see them all in this Ghost Market.

After living in East Birch Market for several months, Song Wen gradually learned about the situation of the righteous path.

In righteous territories, it is rare for cultivators to practice demonic Cultivation Method, because once they do, their physical bodies will be tainted by the turbid Cultivation Method of heaven and earth, making it easy for others to recognize their Devil Cultivator cultivation.

However, many righteous cultivators secretly practice demonic techniques that are not easily tainted by impure energy, or refine demonic magical Law Artifacts.

For example, the Foundation Establishment Lineage mentioned by the gaunt cultivator secretly refine Ghost Dao Law Artifacts. As long as they don't easily reveal Ghost Dao Law Artifacts, they won't be recognized as practicing demonic secret techniques.

The righteous sects generally turn a blind eye to the secret cultivation of demonic Technique Method and the forging of magical Law Artifacts. As long as these cultivators do not openly commit acts that are outrageous to both gods and men, the righteous sects will generally not take the initiative to eliminate them.

This Ghost Market was clearly established with the tacit approval of the Beast Taming Sect and the Lei Clan, and the two major forces were even directly involved in the interests of the Ghost Market.

Otherwise, the Ghost Market would have been destroyed by the Beast Taming Sect and the Lei Clan long ago.

After touring the Ghost Market, Song Wen found that although there were many demonic and spiritual items, there was none that he desperately needed.

Song Wen couldn't find the second-tier spirit beast pills he wanted in the Ghost Market.

It seems that the Beast Taming Sect has very strict control over second-tier spirit beast pills.

Five days later.

The confluence of three rivers!

Thirteen cultivators gathered here, among whom was a gaunt cultivator.

Five people Foundation Establishment Realm and eight were in the Qi Refining Stage, exactly as the gaunt man had said.

None of these thirteen people concealed their aura or appearance; they all showed their true selves, which is enough to demonstrate that they trusted each other.

"Fellow Daoists, we all have Blood Sea with the Li Clan, and we are willing to risk our lives for revenge."

"After years of planning, everyone is ready. Tonight at midnight will be the time for us to take our revenge."

"It was said by an elderly man who was somewhat overweight and had reached the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage."

A female cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage took a step forward; what was most striking about her was her face.

She had a long scar on her face, stretching from her left forehead to her right jaw, like a long centipede crawling on her face.

Her left eye was also severed by the knife; it was completely sunken inward, making her look quite frightening.

The female cultivator's face was filled with hatred, as if she was suppressing a raging fire in her heart.

"The day has finally come! I, Nie Qian, will fight the Heavenly River Li Clan to the death!"

"My entire family of thirty-two, and this scar on my face, are all thanks to the Li Clan. All these years, I haven't had this scar repaired, precisely to constantly remind myself of the Blood Sea I have for the Li Clan."

When he speaks, his facial muscles move, pulling on the scars on his face, making the scars seem to come alive, like a centipede, constantly writhing.

Under Nie Qian's leadership, most of the cultivators were filled with boundless hatred and united against the common enemy.

Only the gaunt monk was looking around, as if searching for someone.

"Wang Yi, what's wrong?"

The elder, who Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, noticed the gaunt cultivator's actions and asked a question.

Wang Yi was somewhat disappointed not to find the expected figure.

"Elder Li, a few days ago, a mysterious cultivator whose cultivation level was impossible to discern came to my shop. He was looking for Profound Yin Stones. I originally intended to recruit him to join us in attacking the Li Clan."

"I invited him to this place today, but I didn't see him."

"I suspect he's a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator. What a pity; if he had come, we would have been much more confident in dealing with that old scoundrel Li Chenggu."

Upon hearing this, Elder Li felt a sense of unease and spoke in a serious voice.

"Wang Yi, you wouldn't have revealed our entire plan to attack the Li Clan to that mysterious cultivator, would you? What if he has connections with the Li Clan and leaks our plan to the Li Clan? Then all our years of planning will have been in vain."

Wang Yi said, "Don't worry, Elder Li, I'm not that foolish. I didn't reveal the Li Clan's name, nor did I disclose our operation plan. He knows nothing about it."

Elder Li let out a long sigh and replied.

"That's good. However, if what you say is true, having a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator join the team would indeed increase our chances of winning."

"Alas! It's my fault for being useless. I've been stuck at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage for decades, and my lifespan is almost over, yet I still can't break through. Otherwise, I could have postponed my plan for a few more years to accumulate even greater power."

Wang Yi said, "Elder Li, don't feel ashamed. If it weren't for the countless hours and efforts you spent gathering us together, we would probably never have had the chance to avenge ourselves."

Then, Wang Yi continued to ask questions.

"Elder Li, in your opinion, is it true or false that the Li Chenggu once obtained several Profound Yin Stones?"

Elder Li said, "This matter is mostly true. Li Chenggu scoundrel, is only at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, yet he has two ghost generals comparable to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage. Without a treasure like the Profound Yin Stone, it would be difficult for him to refine such ghost creatures with his cultivation level."

Ten miles away, in a Xiao Shan, Song Wen, who saw all this through the Black Armor Gu, couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.

Unexpectedly, what this gaunt cultivator named Wang Yi said was all true.

The Heavenly River Li Clan is located about three thousand miles away from here, situated on the banks of the famous Sky River on the Heavenly Origin Continent. The Li Clan made their fortune by raising Azure-Armored Spirit Fish.

As far as Song Wen knew, there were indeed rumors circulating that the Heavenly River Li Clan was crafting Ghost Artifacts.
